Determined to celebrate his life, and death, the members of a local horror film society steal his freshly buried corpse and decide to host a party, in his honor, at their old and lavish mansion. Unaware that Radzoff’s interest in horror extended beyond the silver screen and into the black arts, his corpse is soon re-animated and he begins exacting a bloody revenge against those who disturbed his final resting place. Slyly combining 80s slasher tropes with an insightful and self reflective look at the meaning of horror movies and death itself, Norman Thaddeus Vane’s FRIGHTMARE (originally known as THE HORROR STAR) is a quick witted and suspenseful tribute to classic horror cinema. With captivating cinematography by Joel King (JUST BEFORE DAWN) and supporting performances from Jeffrey Combs (RE-ANIMATOR), Luca Bercovici and Leon Askin, FRIGHTMARE has been newly restored from its original camera negative and is coming to Blu-ray for the very first time! Director: Norman Thaddeus Vane 1981 | 86 min | Color | 1.85:1 Features Include: + Blu-ray/DVD Combo | Region Free | 1.85:1 OAR + Restored in 2k from 35mm camera negative + All extras on both Blu-ray and DVD + New video interview with Cinematographer Joel King + Archival audio interview with Director Norman Thaddeus Vane + Historical commentary track with David Del Valle and David DeCoteau + Commentary track by The Hysteria Continues + Original theatrical trailer + Reversible THE HORROR STAR cover art + English SDH subtitles Vinegar Syndrome Website - https://vinegarsyndrome.com/ Buy “Frightmare” Blu-Ray - https://vinegarsyndrome.com/shop/frightmare/ "Private Property" Blu-Ray Review (Cinelicious Pics)![]() Plot Summary: Two homicidal drifters (played to creepy perfection by Warren Oates and Corey Allen) wander off the beach and into the seemingly-perfect Los Angeles home of unhappy housewife Kate Manx, in this long-lost California noir written & directed by THE OUTER LIMITS creator Leslie Stevens. Lensed in stunning B&W by master cameraman Ted McCord (THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE), PRIVATE PROPERTY is both an eerie, Jim Thompson-esque thriller and a savage critique of the hollowness of the Playboy-era American Dream. Warren Oates delivers his first screen performance here, years before he emerged in THE WILD BUNCH and TWO-LANE BLACKTOP as one of the finest character actors of his generation; his bizarre Lennie-and-George relationship with the underrated Corey Allen (James Dean's hot rod rival in REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE) is fueled by a barely-suppressed homoerotic tension. Director Stevens (a protégé of Orson Welles) and lead actress Manx were married at the time, and the film was shot in their home; several years later, Manx tragically committed suicide and her fragile spirit seems to hang over the film.

I saw my 1st horror flick at age ten Can I ask how old you were? Is there such as a thing as being too young for horror? Do you think that watching a lot of horror is detrimental to society?
